Community Artist
Program
Welcome to the Community Artist Program’s (CAP) roster!
The Community Arts Program provides funding to ethnic and culturally
specific individual artists and cultural organizations to teach, perform, and
exhibit at host facilities in neighborhoods around the City of Dallas. CAP
cultivates collaborations between artists and communities.
The Community Artist Program is offered to facilities and groups within the
city limits of Dallas. Events or services must be free of charge. Services are
available in the form of performances, workshops, and residency programs.
Some performances and workshops can be tailored to meet the specific
needs of the host organization. Artists are available through the CAP
funding program offered by the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs. You
book the services and OCA pays their fee.
The Office of Cultural Affairs staff will assign participating
artists/organizations to services in the community on a request and need
basis. Community hosts may include churches, community organizations,
recreation centers, social service agencies, and other nonprofit groups.
Emphasis will be placed on underserved or unserved communities that
have not had prior exposure to the art form. An attempt will be made to
spread program services throughout all areas of the City.
